India tends to be one of the countries where even multinational companies that are very consistent in using the CCTLDs of each respective country for their "localized" branch sites there usually don't use the .in domain for their Indian site, preferring instead to use something like "CompanyNameIndia.com". Another such country is the United States, where they rarely use the .us domain for this purpose. So you see lists of sites like France: FooBarBaz.fr; Italy: FooBarBaz.it, etc., but then India: FooBarBazIndia.com, USA: FooBarBazUSA.com, instead of FooBarBaz.in and FooBarBaz.us.
